I had shortness of breath side effect from 100mg losartan after 3 months. My doctor reduced my dose back to 50mg. Still having some shortness of breath after 1 week. How long will it take for losartan to normalize in my system. I had stress test and holter monitor showed my heart was o.k.

Hi,
Losartan itself won't cause breathing difficulty unless you develop allergy to this drug. it may cause cough and dyspnea.
You can use bronchodilator along with it. If you are known case of asthma better to change to another antihypertensive drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
